'Expressions of Interest' for BANDS & ARTISTS to be part of the official HONK! Oz 2025 lineup

HONK! Oz 2025 : WOLLONGONG, NSW 
​Thursday January 9th | Friday January 10th | Saturday January 11th

• HONK! Oz features alternative community street bands and associated arts. 
• HONK! Oz is a wind, brass, percussion kind of thing (eg. Samba, New Orleans, Balkan Brass, trad jazz etc). 
• The Festival is 100% volunteer run. Everything is free - there is no income from ticket sales.
• HONK! is a free festival for non-professional community bands. There are no performance fees. We don't pay bands to attend HONK!​ (depending on funding available, we can sometimes offer travel and accommodation assistance for visiting bands).
• We use the existing infrastructure of the city for performance spaces. Bands don't necessarily need to be mobile, but you should be primarily acoustic and prepared to play with extremely limited tech. (eg. a wind/brass/percussion band with a bass guitar)
• The Festival is Saturday January 11th - with some pre-festival on the Thursday and Friday.
